Note: This profile is about the child version of Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. For the adult version of Link from this era, go to Link (Ocarina of Time).

Link is the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He is also known as the Hero of Time.

Background[]

Link was once just a child living in the Kokiri Forest, but lacking a fairy companion like the other Kokiri. His assigned companion, Navi, came to him on the same day that the Great Deku Tree fell victim to a curse from a great evil. Link ventured deep into the tree and defeated the demon that was attacking him, but that did not prevent the Great Deku Tree's death. After learning of his true origins as a Hylian from the Great Deku Tree, Link left the Kokiri Forest and began to explore Hyrule, trying to work alongside Princess Zelda to defeat the evil known as Ganondorf.

This form fights by making use of punches and full-body blows. With the Goron Pound, he can cause a small tremor that stuns enemies.

  • Limited magic energy.
  • Limited bombs, arrows, Bombchus, and Deku Nuts.

  • Deku Link is incredibly weak and vulnerable to fire.
